Not living through comparison, not gauging my success and my self-worth based on what other people are doing, and especially with social media, it's easy to look at what everyone else is doing and to shortchange yourself and start doubting yourself.
Ever feel like you’re stuck in the comparison trap, constantly measuring yourself against others? This episode of 'Sober is Dope' with POP Buchanan offers a refreshing escape. POP, who’s been sober for eight years, dives into practical ways to boost your self-confidence and focus on your own journey. Social media can make it easy to fall into the comparison game, but POP has some solid advice to help you break free.
He suggests starting with visualization—imagine yourself as the person you want to be. Affirmations are another powerful tool; telling yourself positive things can really shift your mindset. Feeling brave? Try doing one thing that scares you every day. It’s all about pushing your boundaries and growing stronger. POP also talks about the 100 Days of Rejection Challenge, inspired by Jia Jiang.
The idea is to seek out rejection on purpose, like asking a stranger for $100 or requesting a bizarre favor at a restaurant. It might sound scary, but it helps desensitize you to rejection and builds resilience. Self-care is another big theme in this episode. POP emphasizes the importance of taking care of your body through exercise and healthy eating. When you feel good physically, it’s easier to feel good mentally.
And don’t forget to help others—it’s amazing how boosting someone else’s confidence can also boost your own. This episode is packed with actionable tips and heartfelt advice. Whether you’re in recovery or just looking to improve your self-esteem, POP’s insights can guide you toward a more confident, comparison-free life.
